The main objective of
the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation is to support the arts in
general, and the visual arts in particular. Apart from the annual
exhibitions, the Foundation has established, since 1986, a scheme
regarding post-graduate scholarships on subjects related to art and
has carried out significant donations, like the assignment of the
Archaeological Museum on Andros to the Greek state.
Aside from the cultural activities, the Basil and Elise Goulandris
Foundation is also active in the field of social welfare. The construction,
outfitting and maintenance of the Old People’s Home Non-profit Institution
“Estia Athinon” and the renovation of the two pavilions of the Old
People’s Home of the Athens Charitable Society are examples of that.
